This might be one of the oldest crafts in the books, but it’s such a classic that will never go out of style! You can’t tell us you went your entire childhood not making one of these yourself. If that is the case, you’re in for a very simple treat that you get to experience with your littles.

All you need to complete this DIY: a variety of uncooked pasta, Rit liquid dye, and string.

Let them dry before handling, and put everything out on the table for a fun, tactile activity for kids during Thanksgiving prep.

They’ll feel so proud that they’ve made necklaces for everyone to wear during dinner.

If your hands aren’t too busy with food prep, you should get in on the craft. It’s pretty addicting!

As you can tell we had a lot of fun with ours! Happy crafting!
